Certificate of appreciation from the United Train of Artillery militia

This is East Greenwich resident Thomas W. Chace’s certificate of appreciation for his service in the United Train of Artillery militia as he took command of the 4th Brigade of the Rhode Island Militia in September 1872. The intricacy and workmanship is amazing!

This item is on display at the Varnum Memorial Armory Museum.
